Radiocaster: The paramedics entered in from off screen. Placing two fingers to her neck, they stand up straight and announce to the audience "She's dead, Jimbo". The audience goes wild with uproarious laughter while the theme song fades in and Quill-Weave is carried away on a stretcher. Prequel Adventure was filmed in front of a live studio audience.

Radiocaster: based on a frame from Panty & Stocking

Radiocaster: I'd probably strike up a conversation, ask her what she's up to, comment on the weather, suplex her over a park bench, the usual.

Radiocaster: those damn fees always catching us off guard

Radiocaster:

Radiocaster: "Yeah, but why is Katia happy? Is she stupid?"

Radiocaster: You might say, they're a barBAREian!

Radiocaster: it's really warm in the underworld so she had to make a tactical decision to avoid overheating

Radiocaster: @Auserr: My Prequel comics are on the backburner for right now so I can focus on other projects as well as my own comic, though I wouldn't be against coming back to them at some point. I also considered re-tooling the format AGAIN to be more like a light novel with illustrations so I can spend more time focusing on the story, but we'll see whether or not I go through with that.

Radiocaster: I think I mostly meant it in the sense that a negative state of mind can feel like a concrete place to return to, and allowing yourself to feel more positive can be difficult. She acts more openly apologetic or deadpan about her problems rather than harshly emphasizing what she's doing to fix them. As for the planning, it ebbs and flows. Sometimes she doesn't plan and it comes back to bite her. Sometimes she elaborately plans when running towards or away from something is the only real option. But she does get better at that over time, and generally got more time to make plans that at least somewhat work.

Radiocaster: Bravery isn't an absence of fear, it's the mastery of it. In other words, it's possible for Katia to have low self esteem and still do things that require confidence, and often that pushes her to come up with a plan instead of going in head-first. Likewise, regrouping her thoughts in a negative light is a core habit that she owns rather than decries, which is why telling her to be nice to herself doesn't work. It's not something solved by laying out her accomplishments either, because she isn't denying their existence, she just isn't ready to consider herself an achiever with confidence. In other words, I feel like her self image upgraded from "I'm a paranoid fool who does nothing right" to "I'm pretty sure I'm a paranoid fool who does nothing right, but this seems to be working, so I guess I'll do it anyway."

Radiocaster: @TheDandyWay: To be fair, it's kind of only fat in one axis

Radiocaster: good thing katia doesn't have a gag reflex

Radiocaster: @Kazerad: Yeah I remember a bit about 2022. It was a very different time back then. Oh those were the golden days, really. Maybe sometime we can go up to the attic and pull out my dusty box of photographs from that bygone era. I think I have some antiques from around that age somewhere as well. Wish I could go back all those years ago and see that world again, but alas, we'll just have to settle for the memories.

Radiocaster: Ooh, Aggy looks so cool in this style. He kinda reminds me of Silver Surfer actually

Radiocaster: @Codlam: The marshmallow puppy ghost that follows behind her in every panel that we just haven't noticed yet?

Radiocaster: she is coming to bite your pineapples...

Radiocaster: It's a fair question to ask when the missing tail tag gets applied to a lot of images that reasonably excluded the tail. Like if it's just a headshot, where's the tail gonna come in? Is she scratching her noggin with it?

Radiocaster: there's far worse images out there as well lol

Radiocaster: I'd also be concerned for everyone's eardrums in the vicinity of the sound required to make that pattern

Radiocaster: @Azmeltosh: she buys one in the comic, smh fake fan

Radiocaster: so what you're saying is that we should give katia french fries

Radiocaster: That's alright. I didn't really know how I would have demonstrated it anyway

Radiocaster: when i was a kid i used to say to my dad “dad” and he would go “yes maam katia managan” and i would just open my mouth and point in it and wait for him to pour beans in there

Radiocaster: I'd even be willing to teach you how to remake the background manually if you're interested

Radiocaster: That would be a step in the right direction

Radiocaster: I also find it rich that this image is licensed as CC-BY. Did you add that tag yourself, Mahyar? Do you think that means that an AI service using your image as part of their dataset should credit you? Because let me tell you, they don't, and that means you have no way of crediting whatever image it pulled from either. How does the saying go? Rules for thee, but not for me?

Radiocaster: It's about the principle of the thing. You fail to understand the point being made about the background's simplicity. You could have made it manually, I could have made it manually, anyone here could have made it manually, so why didn't you? Why did you take a controvserial shortcut when the real thing would have not only been good and easy pratice, but would also avoid this entire issue in the first place? You have nothing to gain and something to lose by using it for something so unimportant in such an uncaring manner. And at the end of the day, no matter what justification you give, you can't argue against the clear negative effects caused by the trillion-dollar AI industry that you show complacency with by using their services. The polluting datacenters being forced into our communities, the countless stolen artworks and images that us artists never consented to, the displacement of people's real talent and effort, the degredation of people's mental health and work ethic as they now have unadulterated access to a digital yes-man that you so kindly demonstrate is apparently hard to get away from. Your logic is inconsistent and your disdain is pitiful, have a nice day.

Radiocaster: I also notice a lot of the porn artists forget to add the lighter fur. Fake fans smh

Radiocaster: You used AI for the simplest, most straightforward part of the image, didn't bother to disclose that usage at all before we called you out for it, and you're confused as to why we might find that to be dishonest and lazy? Your statements about wanting to improve your own skill ring hollow when you deflect criticism and continue to use AI for things that don't even make any sense to use it for. Going down your same line of logic, why use AI to make a simple background when you could easily learn how to do it yourself, thereby improving your skills more efficiently?

Radiocaster: Really? You used AI for that? Seriously? I should be mad but I think I've just gone fully numb

Radiocaster: It's not very clockable, but there are some weird things about it. What's up with her pointy bat ears? Why are the pixel elements scaled so poorly? Why is there shading on her neck but nowhere else? Why is the color bleeding onto the shovel? What do the motion lines to the left convey? Why does it look so different to the one original work that Mahyar has posted previously? Most line gaps are excusable, but what about the huge one on the side of her head? How can I trust the uploader who has uploaded AI stuff to the booru before? I'm not calling it, but it's not a great look.

Radiocaster: Note: I had to slightly simplify the overlay shading to fit it within the booru's filesize limit, the original can be found at the Newgrounds source link. This piece was inspired by how the rainwater gushes through my street during heavy weather because it's a giant slope. Also because I thought it would be cute for them to share an umbrella.

Radiocaster: I feel like trying to describe the facial expression naturally leads you to assume that her face is expressing a specific emotion that is readily apparent, when this is really the kind of expression someone would make in response to something else that isn't featured in the picture. In other words, if she was posing for a photo with a similar lack of context, and you asked her what expression she made, she'd probably say "I don't know".

Radiocaster: Is it perhaps based on an existing picture?

Radiocaster: Cats aren't big fans of water after all.

Radiocaster: "Stupid sexy Katia"

Radiocaster: Reminds me of when my sister sent me Prequel panels and asked if it was my art lol

Radiocaster:

Radiocaster: aggy more like aggony

Radiocaster: I didn't notice it at first, but Stephane looks like a total gremlin in that panel.

Radiocaster: I wanted to do something fun and challenge myself a little bit. This piece was done start-to-finish in the span of around 6 hours with no pose references.

Radiocaster: I give this a solid 8/10: it's simple, clean, and cute, just as a good button should be, not that there was actually a specific quality requirement (mine was thrown together in an hour or two at most, after all). The questionable tag is a courtesy to users who might not want to see suggestive content (or are checking the booru at the office instead of working), not really some kind of magic cross. The booru doesn't have a problem with actual explicit content, both because rulebreakers are rare, and because we have report buttons and moderators who don't mind seeing a pee pee. Kaz doesn't really talk a lot to begin with; he's actually cold-shouldering the whole booru most of the time lol. If I had to give you any social advice, it would be to avoid using double line-breaks as period. It makes your comments more spammy than you're likely intending them to be. Even just combining the lines down to a paragraph or two would make your speech less abrasive.

Radiocaster: she forgor

Radiocaster: don't worry katia, cold shoulders are trendy this season

Radiocaster: But paper beats rock! :(

Radiocaster: What if she cuts the pineapple smaller first?

Radiocaster: Ah, yeah that would make more sense

Radiocaster: Checking the artist's commission sheet tells me that you may have meant to say "60" and not "600"

Radiocaster: 600? Like 600 dollars? bro got scammed :v
